it won't become game of the year because no EU release

>>105420095 The sad thing is this game could be called game of the year
I'm pretty open minded but I have a lot of trouble believing that.

Have you played the Deus Ex press preview?

1. No one gives a fuck about GOTY
2. Catherine is a weeabo dating simulator. Not a game.

It's really sad that you would honestly think that about a qbert wannabe with pandering, infantile story design

It won't be GOTY because it isn't good enough to get it.

It won't because it's fatlus shit and there are MUCH better games coming out this year.

You really think catherine will compare to Batman Arkham City, Skyrim or whatever else?

which GOTY award are you talking about

everyone has their own GOTY

it won't be GOTY since it didn't sell 191273692764924692e copies before the launch and have a multimillion dollar ad campaign.

>>105420362
And it's not good enough.

>>105420293

any of them, i beleive this could be the game of the year for every tv show, magazine, and website. she it is praised like hell but it doesn't get any other publicity because it doesn't have funs and rpg elements


that is all the game industry cares about. You guys would rather brown and bloom instead of a unique and fresh game

>>105420452
Eh, the reviews aren't that good. It only gets low 80s on metacritic.

>The sad thing is this game could be called game of the year
I agree

The story was decent the the game part of the game was subpar, forced even.

go outside op

just cause it hit you in the heart doesnt mean it will be goty

>>105420562
>thinks opinions are certified fact backed by god and the scientific community.

>>105420738
I'm just saying that it's not really "praised like hell" if it's getting mediocre review scores. Publicity isn't the problem, the problem is that there are plenty of people who don't actually like the game, so it can't be GOTY.

>>105420095
>weaboo anime shit game, 90% text, 10% game, calls it GOTY cause it has a waifu and really, REALLY shitty block puzzles

Get the fuck out, you are one easily amused person

I fucking love Mai and Felicia, I wouldn't call King of Fighters or Darkstalkers the pinnacles of their genre's

not this thread again

>>105420738
It does matter quite a lot when it comes to picking the GOTY

If everybody thinks a game is mediocre and one fat fuck thinks it's a masterpiece than don't be surprised when it doesn't win GOTY awards

>climbing blocks with waifu story is goty
OH GOD MY SIDES

>>105420452
I would love a puzzler, or a mystery game, or survival horror game

This game tries to manage all three, along with a shitty dating simulator, and bombs drastically. The puzzles are fucking infantile in design, the controls are stiff, the dialog is retarded, the character designs are awful, the story is tripe

Give me a singular good point about this game, a single, solid point about this game and I'll take it all back

>>105420095

goddamnit op, now you made me want pizza.

There's a fuckton of game, you just don't like the awesome block puzzles and choose to pretend like they barely take up any part of it.

I entirely agree

>>105420985
Disregard this, I suck cocks.

I'm going to now obnoxiously state my opinions and hate on this game because people like it a lot and I don't. I won't even try playing the game because clearly I am right and from some short youtube videos and the demo I know everything there is to know about this game and I hate it look at all these cocks in my ass.
I only like fightan gaems and shooters.

Sure is repost of a repost. Sage for Fatlus faggotry

>Have you played the Deus Ex press preview?

>Shooter AND a RPG

>Blind GOTYs and 10/10 everywhere

I think the point is doing a stopover in Honolulu a couple hours after it passes over you

>>105421158

Just because you liked it, doesn't make it GOTY.

Just tossing the same shit back at a faggot who started tossing shit, man.
I could be polite, but nobody replies to polite posts.
Now how about you stop shouting this 'waifu' shit? If you pay attention to the threads, nobody obsesses over the girls, despite them being central to the story.
However the plot is much
much
bigger than that.

Well... you could always act like all the other sheep and bleat the same old false crap.

>>105421464
Don't forget Dark Souls and Battlefield 3.

>>105421342
>implying this isn't the best way to deal with opinionated tripfags who feel the need to draw attention to themselves.
It may be immature, but it shuts them up if you do it long enough.

>implying it will win anything
best puzzle game: portal 2

fuck off fatlus faggots

>>105421504
>Sheep

Was that intentional?

no a game should be heralded because of it's game play not it's fucking story or theme or how they both blend perfectly.

this is a dating sim with fucking a puzzle that adds nothing.

>>105421568

>puzzle game :portal 2


that would imply that portal 2 has any challenge. If you can see white circles you can be the game

>DSFCwehadthis-thread_yesterday.exe

Great game, but not GOTY.

Dark Souls is where it will be.

> Deus Ex UR

I hope I'm wrong, I liked Deus Ex a lot back then, but the game is way overhyped considering what they've shown, I think people will be massively disappoint...

>>105421584
I typed it without thinking. I've been playing this too much.
I keep dreaming about moving, pushing, pulling, and climbing blocks. I'm going nuts.

>>105421504
Why do we keep shouting Waifu?

Cause that's all everyone fucking cares about this game for, trying to woo the girl, that's it, that's the whole entire fucking basis for this mother fucking game

This is just 2 cents short of being a full out dating simulator for fuck sakes, but instead of multiple girls to choose from, you only get one who looks like a 13 year old

So not only do you have no taste in woman, you are also a fucking pedo, bravo

>>105421656
FUCK YAH
i've always wanted to be a game

well judging by the majority of the post in this thread, i think its agreed that this game is a pile of shit.

inb4 butt mad neck beards getting angry that no one like their game...oh wait

Does it matter if it wins any awards? It's still a great game.

I'd just be happy if it ends up as a contender, what with Skyrim, Deus Ex, Portal 2, etc. this year.

Catherine was pretty cool but I'm pretty sure Dark Souls is going to take GOTY.

That doesn't look like Deus Ex Human Revolution, OP.

>typical atlus fan .jpg

Block Pushing Puzzles are something i had enough of two generations ago.

Why would i want a game that resolves around that entirely?

Besides half of the "fans" of this game just cream themselves over that it uses the "PERSONA 5 ENGINE OMG OMG OMG!" for its graphics rather then the gameplay itself.

>>105421656
>implying portal needs to be that challenging
The fucking game could have ONE room with a puzzle and the rest be a generic fps and STILL win with its charm
All it needs to do is fit the category
No matter how loosely it does

That feel when the Clocktower was a Nightmare inside a Nightmare

>fat virgins getting angry that only fat virgins like their shitty dating sim non game

>>105421724
>Cause that's all everyone fucking cares about this game for, trying to woo the girl, that's it, that's the whole entire fucking basis for this mother fucking game
Yes! The game is clearly not about these nightmares brought on by a Succubus employed by Dumuzid, a chosen man who once climbed babel and woo'd the goddess Ishtar.
It's TOTALLY a waifu simulator. Not at all a plot that happens because A goddess is testing unfaithful men and killing them off to better mankind as a whole.
Also, I'm going to shout random insults that make absolutely no sense! PEDOPHILE YOU LIKE A GIRL IN A VIDEOGAME WITH BIG TITS AND WIDE HIPS BUT SHE LOOKS 13 SOMEHOW.

God I love big dicks in me.

The game is fun, I liked it a lot despite it's flaws. GOTY? Maybe not. Still worth the time.

>>105421652

Nice opinions.

We're moving beyond the "how good is the jumping" and into their use as a medium of its own.

It's like if you're measuring quality of music by "how good is the musicianship?"

Modern Warfare 3
Battlefield 3
Uncharter 3
Dark souls
Rage
Skyrim


Good look with Catherine making game of the year with these games coming out in 2011.

sure isn't Qbert general here

Only a few samefag haters in this thread. Cool game is cool.

LOL at OP post.

The game lasted 7 hours, and it didn't matter if you were stupid enough to replay it for every other ending or watched them all on youtube.

>>105421652
>no a game should be heralded because of it's game play
Well then, it seems Catherine takes the bait (in my homely opinion). The gameplay is addictive as hell, and I have more fun racking my brain over how to deal with certain walls and blocks than I remember in any videogame (barring Demon's Souls) in the past few years.

At least this game tries something different, and you shun it because it has relationships as a central plot point. What are you so scared of, man?

So many underaged kids calling the game weaaboo shit when they haven't even played it. And still people say no one thinks like that on /v/.

The sad thing is OP keeps posting this same shit over and over

>>105421724
Seriously, though: No one talks about waifus in Catherine general threads. We end up talking more about the levels, the various endings and the awesome soundtrack.
I'm not one of the ones pushing for it to be GOTY. I just don't like it when people jump to conclusions.

By the way you people should watch walkthroughs/Lets plays of Catherine on Youtube.

It's so hilarious, fatasses that have their brain filled with cholesterol trying to solve puzzles with commentary is priceless. One dude did 45 minutes over every stage.

>>105422054
mfw you haven't played Catherine OR Qbert.

>dur hur we've had a few generals about this game so it's totally GOTY material!!

I still fail to see how this is considered a 'waifu' simulator. Have you even played the game?

>>105422135

it is actually only my second time posting this thread. I figured i would try it later to get some different replies.


You can hate but it will be posted sometimes later today. screen cap this if you like, see if i give a fuck

>>105422145
>I just don't like it when people jump to conclusions.
You're probably better off staying away from /v/.
/v/ posters are more concerned with how mad they can make people's replies sound in their own heads than what they're saying themselves.

Simply put, these people are extremely stressed in real life and want to make other people feel annoyed or angry as well.

>>105421945
Strawman, strawman arguments everywhere!

Funny, cause you are the only person here who is saying its not a dating simulator, when everyone else here is saying that's -EXACTLY- what it is

And yes, she is a fucking 13 year old. And no, those are not big hips or big tits, she looks like a fucking 13 year old in a training bra, look at her fucking face even

You are one of those fags who goes "Oh no she's not a little girl, she's over the age of 21! See look, she's over 21! So its ok if she looks completely underage, they say she's over 21!"

Get the fuck in line behind all the fags who say the same thing about Etna in Disgea and the Eli in Tera Online, cause you are on the same fucking ship as them -IE- just cause you make a characters age higher then 21, but make them look like 10-13 year olds, you are not fucking fooling anybody

>not weeaboo

Anime style animation, Sasuke/Noctis-clone friend, sushi and sake every day. Three strikes, unforgivably weeaboo game out.

That's a good thing. Visual novel bullshit doesn't deserve GOTY.

>>105422213
It's not, simple as that. The only reason people call it such is because:
1. There are girls in the game
2. The main character can end up with one of the two girls depending on the ending
They blow past everything else and act as if it's not there simply because of these two points.

Its not dead on, but its close

Also, the name escapes me ATM, but I've played a puzzler with the -EXACT- same mechanics about 10-20 years ago, pushing, pulling, hopping on blocks like this

I was with you until you said but it wont.
You see i was expecting you to say "Because everything else is so bad this is really all we have".

>>105420095
But OP it doesn't have any gameplay
Just plot, fanservice, and q-bert

>>105422360
>anime style animation
Well no duh, it's a game... from japan. Are we not allowed to play japanese games now?
>Sasuke/Noctis-clone friend
Johnny? The dude who bets on women's wrestling, smokes and drinks, and works with one of his friends as an engineer and continuously jokes around about Vincent's situation?
Er... no.
Not at all.
>sushi and sake every day
Sushi was put in the game because it's something the japanese relate to, and guess where the game was originally made? Japan. Yeah.
Oh and you can also choose from a Cocktail, Whiskey, and Beer.

>>105422472
Soul Reaver 1 And 2, and -EVERY- 3D Zelda, same mechanics

>>105422450
American men don't look like tomboyish women, you're confusing us with Japs.

Catherine was great, just a little short on content. They should have had a few extra Babel and VS maps.

Please don't make me choose...

>>105422629
>guess where the game was originally made? Japan.

And you're still trying to argue whether this is a weeaboo game or not? /a/ and /jp/ are all over Catherine. Everyone but you knows that it's a weeaboo game, you're as dumb as Toby.

YEAH FUCK JAPAN AMIRITE X----DDDDD AMI COOL AND EDGY NOW GUISES, PLZZ??

Fuck off summerfags. Normal people don't give a shit about where the game is made as long as it's good, and so far none of the haters have given any real arguments as to why it isn't good.

Japan thinks that all woman in their 20's should have BIG WIDE CHILD LIKE EYES and FLAT CHESTS and NO HIPS

Then they go into full out creepytown by giving them child like torso's, but giant tits and giant hips but keeping the child like heads and calling them adults

Its funny cause whenever they show woman in their 40's-50's like Goldenboy's boss in episode 1, they look like woman in their 20's!!!

>>105422775

That is growth hormones, Americans infect every processed food with it. It is basiclly killing them but they don't care because americans are fat fucks who could careless about there health. It probably fucks up their brain as well since every american is ignorant

>>105422868
Because it's not a puzzle game like Portal with witty humor easy gameplay. The puzzles are actually hard and you have to worry about lives and score (if you are trying to get Gold trophies).
People don't like games where you have to think to hard.

>>105422977
actually there's not a chance in hell MW3 will make GOTY, or even break previous titles sales records.

even cod players are sick of their shit, and this game appears to be doing everything wrong.

>>105420199
Also, OP is a neckbeard weaboo faggot

>FROM JAPAN
>MAKES IT 'WEEABOO'

DO YOU FUCKING FAGGOTS KNOW WHAT WEEABOO MEANS? GOD FUCKING DAMNIT

Someone who is obsessed with Japan/Japanese Culture/Anime, etc. and attempts to act as if they were Japanese, even though they're far from it. They use Japanese words but usually end up pronouncing them wrong and sounding like total assholes.

THAT IS WHAT A FUCKING WEEABOO IS. A NON-ASIAN PERSON WHO SAYS EVERYTHING FROM JAPAN IS THE BEST IN THE WORLD. LIKING A JAPANESE GAME DOESNT MAKE YOU A WEEABOO. A WEEABOO IS A NAME FOR A PERSON, NOT A GAME. A PERSON.

10/10 IM FUCKING OUTRAGED

>>105422919
Oh, okay. Guess I'm a weeaboo then.
>>105422859
You're still using that term incorrectly and you don't bother to correct yourself.
There's a difference between 'weeaboo' and 'japanese'.

Yes because that's not what Japanese women actually look like at all.

THEY ARE NOT LIKE WHITE WOMEN

it's weeaboo because there is no reason to LIKE THIS GAME unless you are a weeaboo who eats anything japan shits out

if it was american with american art style it would be called shit because the gameplay isnt fun.

Alright fine.

You like this game? Good for you, I aint going to knock your taste because its different strokes for different yolks. But the thing is you cannot going round /v/ expecting like everyone is going to like your tastes. This is fucking /v/ after all. This happens with every single video games thread I've been on, one guy or two guys stir up shit and the whole thread becomes a massive argument.

My opinion is, I dont like Catherine. I think its a thinly disguised hentai for lonely virgins that can be only called a game for the nightmare sequences. But thats my opinion and I dont mind people playing it However, wether you like it or not this shit isn't really socially accepted into Western culture and thats why people give strange looks and people come into your threads shouting weeabo shit.

The only way your going to be able to get away with a decent thread is to learn moonspeak and go to 2chan.

Gomenasai, my name is Ken-Sama

I'm a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

>>105423522
>And tell me straight faced which one is supposed to be older, cause according to the game, the girl in op's picture -IS- older
It's anime. It's a cartoon. It aint real life, but damn they look similar. Someone photoshop Catherine's hair black.

>>105423484
You've been skipping over the posts of everyone who has played the game and just reading the troll ones. The game is about puzzles, suprisingly difficult fun ones. It also has a pretty decent co-op mode and VS.

It won't happen because it's really a shitty game.

Blame the influx of users from 2007-2008. They're the younger generation who are too blinded by what they're told and cannot (or don't WANT TO) come up with their own opinions for fear of being alienated by society.

It's a sad thing, because they are doing what they're afraid of just to fit in. Apparently, they believe this is the appropriate way to act.

>>105423538
Notice how the picture you posted, she looks -NOTHING- remotely close to the woman op posted?

DO NOT BUY OR SUPPORT THIS GAME!!!

CATHERINE HAS BROKEN ALL OF ATLUS' RECORDS AND IF IT SELLS EVEN MORE THEN WE WILL SEE PERSONA OR EVEN CATHERINE SEQUELS INSTEAD OF SMT GAMES

YES I MAD WHO THE FUCK BUYS A DUMB PUZZLE VERSION OF PERSONA

It's already sold 200,000+ in the states, with a Europe version inbound most likely this year.

And how come /v/ cries and cries for something 'original' yet they bash this game and praise Deus Ex(shooter RPG-WOW this hasn't been done before) and any game with a 3 behind it.

>>105423767
I myself haven't even been here for a year but no one has even once called me a newfag because I know how to fucking behave myself.

>>105423522

Didn't follow the whole string of replies, but why do you cling to this element of realism regarding this video game? I would get it if it was something like Heavy Rain or GTA, but this is an anime-styled game with demons.

>>105423807
Fuck Persona. I wouldn't mind another Catherine game though. Hopefully with online co-op though.

>>105423767
I have no problems with people enjoying games

I have no problems at all with people enjoying games

I have problems when people are quoting games -FLAWS- as positive things

>I'm bad people enjoy a video game.

>>105423717
>Yeah ok then, this is what a 50 year old looks like with no photoshop
She looks pretty fucking hot. I'd totally hit that.
Oh and you do know anime goes for 'simplistic' style that's closely related to CARTOONS don't you?
The difference is Anime makes everything look "good".
Cartoons make everything look horrendous and ugly for humorous reasons.

Also your picture is a white woman.

>>105423522
>And tell me straight faced which one is supposed to be older, cause according to the game, the girl in op's picture -IS- older
Technically, the girl in OP's picture is not real for more reasons than just being a fictional character in a video game.

If you think she seems unnatural This is actually possibly the point the game is making.

Any game that Japan makes, makes you a weeaboo?
We can say then that everyone's weeaboo here because they like MGS or Demon's Souls!

You are in luck, cause the girl in op's picture is supposed to be american

>>105423947
Yup, both. Unfortunately offline only though. Makes me wonder what they were thinking when they cut online support. Shit woulda been fun as fuck destroying little kids who bought it cause the cover and /v/ matches.

>>105423828
We hate it because this game is shit, and the company could've made better games by giving this development team to another project/producer. We get SMT sequels on handhelds while Persona spinoffs go on consoles? Atlus what the fuck are you doing?

>>105423974
>liking a bad game only because it is anime/japanese
If this game was made by a western company I'd still like it.
But it happened to be made by a japanese company.
So yeah, you're just making shit up.
Like always.

>>105423974
>Implying I like Catherine because it is anime/Japanese

They make this shit because you'll buy it but the clever gooks laugh at you counting their emone

Here we go again with the hivemind. A couple of underaged summerfags aren't the whole of /v/.

>This fucking thread again.

I've seen gameplay of this.

I have hard times believes people like it. Plus the voice acting is japanese porn anime voice acting tier. Disgusting.

>>105424045
>Anime style
>Expecting japan to revamp the entire anime art style JUST because it's set in america
It looks good to me. You're the one throwing a tantrum because it's not realistic.
Games don't need to be realistic.
They need to be fun and entertaining.
Catherine does this for some people.
It doesn't do it for you, so take your fingers out of your butt and go find something that DOES entertain you. (Other than bitching).

You know, I bought MGS3 because /v/ likes it so much

It's tremendously weaboo

All the shitty cliche elements of a generic anime are there. It's boring and uninspired except for the guy who just walks around covered with bees. I won't even mention the gameplay.

TL;DR for you: Yeah MGS is weaboo

>>105424088
Yes I am a loser so what? I will pirate the game and buy it if I like it to support them so they can make a sequel, not to award them for their effort.

>>105423335
weeaboo 3926 up, 584 down

A word filter for the image board 4chan.org that replaces the word wapanese. Originates arbitrarily from a Perry Bible Fellowship comic strip wherein a man was paddled by a crowd chanting "Weeaboo! Weeaboo!"

Damn, you're right!

>>105423994
Liking a game because its fun is a good thing, people love Mario, they love Monster Hunter, they love lots of fun japanese games

This is a trumped up waifu simulator with a puzzle game attached, with a stupid story about heaven, hell, demons, babal and other shit nobody gives a fuck about OTHER then people who only like dating simulators

And yes, dating simulators is as weaboo as you can fucking get mate, that is the beginning and end of japense culture right there

Frankly if this had just been released as an anime OVA, it would have been shitloads well better recieved, but as it is right now its a shitty anime dating simulator with a hilariously inept puzzle game attached, a puzzle game where we are told to look at "Its deeper meaning" when its -A PUZZLE GAME-

Stop looking at things you PERCEIVE them to be, and start looking at things the way they are

>>105424396
>Liking a game because its fun is a good thing, people love Mario, they love Monster Hunter, they love lots of fun japanese games
Yes, and Catherine is a game.

>>105424396
You still haven't played the game.

>>105424396
>Dating simulator.
There's that word again. I wonder when people will start using properly.

>Hurrr, OP's pic is unrealistic and creepy
>OP's pic is the living incarnation of Vincent's secret desires and fetishes trying to seduce him away from the realistic, grounded woman he's been in a stable relationship with for years
>Implying your own deep-seated fetishes and desires all visibly manifested in one person wouldn't be horrifying to someone else
>Implying you know anything about this game aside from the fact that it contains anime ladies

>>105424234

>>105424396
> This is a trumped up waifu simulator with a puzzle game attached

>>105424396
>waifu simulator
>dating simulator

Why are you still in this debate if you haven't played the game? Also,

>Stop looking at things you PERCEIVE them to be, and start looking at things the way they are.

If we'd do that no video game would be fun.

>>105424396
>Stop looking at things you perceive them to be, and start looking at things the way I perceive them to be

>>105424396
>Mario
Jumping around a 2d surface
Simple, but damn it's fun.
>Monster Hunter
Smacking a monster with oversized weaponry until it dies
Simple, and it's fun and looks awesome.
>Catherine
Pushing/pulling blocks to get to the top
It's simple and fun.
But you're being a faggot about it because of the story.

>OPINIONS EVERYWHERE
>Degrades into shit-posting
>Summer

>>105424660
you forgot
>because it's "weeaboo"

>>105424396
It's dawned on me that you don't even know what a dating sim is if you think Catherine is one.

>>105424396
You're not making any sense.
Do you not like the game because it involves romance or something?
What's your issue, man?
The game isn't a dating/waifu simulator... at all.
You need to take a minute to realize you're wrong.

>>105424755
Don't worry, he's just a child who follows the hater bandwagon without forming his own opinions.

>>105424513

Is it a nice game? yes.
Is it GOTY? No.
Are you a weaboo for insisting it is compared to everything else coming out this year? If you're going to continue to cry about it and whine,then yes,get the fuck back to /a/ or /jp/

It's just one of those games that will cause a shitstorm on /v/ for a few months then never be spoken of again when atlus shits out another RPG simulator.

>>105424660
yes and god forbid an fps or an rpg be considered fun, I bet if atlus or squenix released gears of androgyny you'd lap it up

>>105424736

Compared to everything else thats come out this year it's easily GOTY but compared to games that are coming out, I doubt it. Still a good game.

>>105424396
>Looking for a deeper meaning in the puzzle part of the game.
Fuck, the "deeper meaning" you're thinking of, in the puzzle gameplay, is nothing more than a metaphor for Vincent's the manchild's ascent to adulthood. Just that. You're even told this at the end of the game.

>>105424836
You know it's a bad argument when all you have to do to refute it is repeat it back to them and ask them, "what's wrong with this statement?".

I've never even played the game, bro.

I've only played about two games that came out this year anyway. I'm not qualified to say what is or isn't GOTY material.

I'm just trying to inject some actual information into this conversation.

>>105424832
You mean like Dirge of Cerberus, but with not-shit gameplay?

Fuck yes I would be all over that.

>>105424809

>>105424832
>I bet if atlus or squenix released gears of androgyny you'd lap it up
Nah it's actually kinda mediocre, really. The story isn't even all that good.
But if people like Cowadoody or Gears of Muscle, they'll like this (IF IT DIDN'T HAVE AN ANIME STYLE).

Because being anime immediately ruins a game.

I don't think he's implying that at all.

I'm saying this as a guy who likes Gears of War, Catherine, COD4, Mass Effect, Splinter Cell, and Persona 3. I just like games. Catherine probably isn't GOTY, but it's damn fun.

Wow I thought I just heard something that sounded like a really long, wet fart.
Not once are you told to look into that deeper.
It's a nightmare where Vincent climbs to escape what's bothering him.
That's all.
It's been clear since the very first time it happens.

>>105425105

I imagine this guy tearing hair out of his head and trying to convince himself catherine isn't a dating sim

Unfortunately it is

Yes it is.

>>105425118

It had it's moments, but if I can miss shooting at a person's face point-blank, I really don't care if I never see a VC game again.
It was rage-inducingly hard at some points.

You must not play many games OP.

lets put it this way cathfags, you don't hear DE:HR fans complaining about how their game won't be recognised by the mainstream media because they understand that ultimately its their opinion that counts when enjoying a game, dear god are you all so insecure that you need affirmation from a heavily bribed journalist that you will most likely never meet.
